Something’s not right

Oscillation between two mind sets

Oscillation between two mind sets

Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of things and don’t feel like my trauma defines me and I don’t feel so ashamed and scared. Other times I want to hide from the world and feel like a **** (I’m not going to say the word here since I don’t want to trigger anyone) 😭, I feel so ashamed that I don’t want people to know

@Paperdaisy, it’s hard not feeling well and it is getting in the way of doing things. I just wish things were easier and feel more stable again

Hi @creative_writer

I just wanted to say I'm thinking of you.

I hope you feel better soon.

@Birdofparadise8, my migraine got better but it seems to be getting worse again 😫. I had to cancel my driving lesson tomorrow, I hope my driving instructor doesn’t hate me for giving her 24 hour notice

@Jynx and @Birdofparadise8, I’m eating dinner, I hope it helps with the migraine. I feel like I need to reach out to someone but the idea is terrifying

Totally normal to be feeling anxious about it @creative_writer it is always challenging to be open and vulnerable. Is there anything I could do to help you build up the courage? What are you most scared of?

@Birdofparadise8, I only have a peer support worker appointment this week. They happen weekly. I have psych nurse appointment next week and psych appointment at the end of the month. Pdoc appointment isn’t until March, but they put me on the waiting list.

@Jynx, phone calls make me anxious, SANE is my preferred helpline and the chat isn’t up yet. I don’t want to listen to the same tune while waiting on hold (being on hold can be lengthy during busy periods) and I’m scared they’ll be busy now. I also sometimes stumble over my words with new people. Then I have to pretend to be resting up in my room or parents will ask why I am calling a helpline and get worried
